In addition to the "myessocard" website disappearing, the T&Cs have been changed without any one being notified which I think makes the the contract "NULL & VOID". The T & Cs now state the following;

3. 10 Limits may be placed on the Fuel Cards to prevent them from being overdrawn. The maximum volume of litres of Fuel that can drawn on the Fuel Card is 80 litres.

This could be an issue if you forget when filling up especially if you have a large fuel tank. Our Jeep can take over 90 litres from empty.

3. 11 The use of the Fuel Card by the Cardholder is subject to the Cardholder drawing at least 15 litres of Fuel in each transaction. For each transaction that the Cardholder draws less than 15 litres of Fuel, Pump-King is entitled to charge the Cardholder a £1 administration fee.

Last week I topped up with 14 litres. Yesterday I topped with 13 litres. I was not aware of the T&Cs being changed and that the minimum amount was now 15 litres!

My card arrived today, I applied on 6th December, now I will have to remember to fill up with over 15 litres and under 80 litres and remember a pin number too, then keep an eye on my current account debits. .....I've a feeling it won't go well

I assume the card can only be used over the counter and not at the pump?

Received my card today, and went to my local Esso to try it, filled up with 40 litres, go to pay, and the machine comes up "Incorrect PIN", despite me checking both before and after. So now I've paid 129. 7 a litre instead of 123. 7. .. Not happy, and to add insult, the phone isn't being answered at Pump King

Mine arrived today, although I doubt that I will use it until I get some re-assurance from CMC that everything is as it should be with Pump-King.

However, when I went to my account online I did notice that the original pin number had changed to another set of numbers!

I wonder if your's has changed too, hence the problem when you filled up, maybe?

I'm not worried about any changes to the T's & C's, the final points are they are challengable under English or N Irish law

The PIN On line hasn't changed. ...

I have applies for a card, not yet arrived, with regard to the PIN, can it not be changed, I have had a text yesterday to confirm price for next week @ £1. 253 for Diesel, my local Esso garage is £1. 239 !!, reading Durbanites PM and his last post I am thinking of cancelling the card as with Esso's intention of switching to Nectar, this card is no use to us at all as we collect Tesco Bonus Points that pays for our Tunnel crossings every year

AFAIK the PIN can't be changed

The last 3 Friday texts has diesel more than my local supermarket.

Work out the value per litre of Tesco vouchers, then you can compare prices properly - no point paying more overall just to get the vouchers.

I know that we have to spend a small a small fortune at Tesco to have enough to use for Eurotunnel, but we live near a Town that only has two supermarkets so the choice is limited, for example our nearest JS is 30 miles away. We buy everything from Tesco as it accommodates all our requirements, our Tesco is four miles away, that's the downside of living in "the back of beyond" we are over 300 miles from Dover so we have to add another day to our journey

Although it has an office registered in London the company is based in a non EEA country and the payment system is out of the EEA soi you have no control over how your data could be used. I am not sure how the C C could have missed this before promoting it to members? Still no reply from C C regarding the changes to the T & Cs
